I've thought about this quite a bit, particularly WRT to having secondary radius servers that pick up when the primary's down. The biggest problem I've found is that when I would want to use the forwarding, the proper server wouldn't be working. A robust solution needs to deal with cases where the main server's not working. My solution is to have the primary accounting server run the log rolling commands on the secondary servers using ssh, then parse their backup logs along with the primary server's logs with a perl script that sorts them into time order.
